Default Re: Replacement key fob shell breaks remote function

I am sure you made sure the chip is in place, so I will not mention that UNLESS you did not check to see if the chip fell out while installing the car key (or that chip is not in the correct place in the FOB case). THEN, make sure you get the red light on the FOB while holding the (any) button for a couple seconds. That'll tell you the batteries are installed correctly and the FOB is working. IF you do not get that, either the batteries are installed incorrectly, dead, or the contacts are not connecting correctly (some members have had the connectors bent or broken, preventing the flow of current to the FOB components). Then, you need to 'resync' the FOB to the car. Follow carefully the steps to resync the FOB. Come back after doing these things in the order listed. Good luck!
